Enjoyed a relaxing weekend near Joshua Tree. Everything is as pictured. Dogs enjoyed the fully fenced backyard. Property is about 10 mins from the visitor center. Make sure you follow the owner's instructions to the property, there are a lot of dirt roads that the gps wants to take you on.

We had an outstanding stay at Roadrunner House! The house was perfectly clean when we walked in, and everything we needed during our stay was provided. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and with very little light pollution in the neighborhood the stargazing was excellent. We spent a lot of time by the fire (the fire pit is outstanding). The views of the surrounding hills are beautiful, and my daughter loved lounging in the hammocks. We would absolutely book again!

Wonderful stay, and we'll be back!

We had a wonderful time in the Roadrunner house! It's decorated well, was clean, and the hot tub which we used every night of our stay was so great. Swinging in the hammock at night looking up at the stars is something not to be missed. The toilet is a little small, but that won't stop us from booking this space again!

The place was really nice, newly renovated and clean—nice fresh towels and linens. Well stocked kitchen and good coffee. A great value, esp the hot tub. Very private. The skies were much darker than where I live, and I saw more stars than usual, but still couldn’t quite see the Milky Way! Be sure to use the directions from the host, to stay on paved roads. If you let Google Maps bring you, you’ll end up on some dirt roads. (They're not bad—just drive slow.)

Our stay

The stay was nice. Great house with a beautiful little backyard. The only hiccup is that the code provided was not correct and we did not get a response until more than 24 hours later luckily we were able to get into the house around back, but this forced us to be unable to properly lock the house when we left for the day. All in all it was a solid stay. Hopefully the kinks with the check in can be smoothed out.

Peaceful and relaxing stay

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few nights while exploring Joshua Tree National Park. This place had everything you could need from toiletries to a humidifier in the bedroom. We enjoyed the hot tub on cold nights and the hammocks out back fo star gazing. The property is very peaceful and there is a resident great horner owl in the tree out front that was cool. Highly recommend

Perfect location for our Joshua Tree vacation. The house was great with lots of extra thoughtful touches. The backyard was perfect for relaxing in the hot tub and star gazing after a day of hiking in the park. Comfortable beds, great kitchen for breakfast. We would definitely stay here again!!

Honestly a perfect place to stay in Joshua Tree. Super clean and well kept property with all the amenities we could have needed. I can’t say that I had one bad thing to say about the place. Jacuzzi was great for the two of us and the views from the backyard are unreal. Thanks for a great trip!

Amazing!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for the weekend and we fell in love with this house! The livingroom and kitchen are so nice, I love the hanging chairs and I like that they have games and books for people to enjoy! The rooms and bathroom were so nice and clean, big extremely comfortable king bed in the main room, slept like a baby. The back yard is by far my favorite! They have more outside games and areas to sit and relax. I really like that they provided some firewood for us, unfortunately we didn't use it, but it was nice that they did that :) We really enjoyed the hammocks! Feels nice to lay down and enjoy the sunset and at night was the best being under the stars, so beautiful! Overall, this was the best place I have ever stayed at and will definitely stay here again!! Thank you much we really enjoyed it! 😊

About the host

Host profile image
Hello there!

Thank you for visiting my host profile!
I was born and raised on the East Coast, which I exchanged for the sunny ambiance of the Golden State after visiting on vacation. I’ve started my professional career as an auto collision specialist but am now running an ecommerce store and building custom RVs.

I am looking to provide the best possible experience to all visitors. There is nothing more reassuring and calming than finding a place that feels like a second home on your travels.

Feel free to book or message me first; I am happy to answer any questions in advance.

Experience Joshua Tree with me!

Why they chose this property

I decide to purchase and rehab this home after visiting Joshua Tree national park one weekend. I thought Joshua Tree was a gem and unlike any other place I've ever visited. When I came across this home, I couldn't pass it up. Now I get to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

My home located in a fantastic spot of Joshua tree. I am on a half acre lot with no homes on either side of me. One neighbor located beyond the fenced in back yard. It is a very private, quiet part of Joshua Tree with much less light pollution than the downtown area, which allows you to see the night sky much clearer. The back yard lounge area looks out into the National parks mountain peaks.
